Ive tried side saddles in the past, but my current work truck riot gun wears a speed feed stock instead.
It lives in a rear window type truck gun rack along with an AR, but mounted on the lower cab thats behind the seat and never seen until you flip the seat back forward.
It only holds 4rds, but its never obtrusive or hard to remove shells from.
I always found grabbing or trying to hold a side saddle equipped gun one handed by the receiver, as I often do when carrying or removing it from the rack, is clumsy and uncomfortable as fuk....
Just another option and my .02
Cheers, yv

I bought a used 870 a while back that had one on it. First thing I found was that it covered the SN so you had to remove it to verifies the SN. The pins that hold the FCG in have to be replaced with a screw to mount it on the gun. The backing late was made of aluminum and on of the screw holes stripped out. I called TacStar (a division of Lyman Products) and as I recall they sent me a new plate for free, I just can't find it as I never mounted it back on the gun.

We had speed feed stocks on all of our duty shotguns. Almost all of them failed over time when the plastic spacer within the rubber butt pad cracked and the spring tension from having the shells stored in the stock started pushing the butt pad off of the stocks. I was my agencies armorer and replaced everyone with a side saddle shell holder. We went with the four round non windowed version along with m4 style stocks so everyone could adjust the gun in their marked unit to fit them. The side saddle provided the same number of extra shells that the speed feed did and was a lot easier to manipulate under stress for reloads. It also allowed better visual confirmation if carrying different loads for different applications. They do make a windowed version that allows the s/n to be seen, at least on the model 870.

Have side saddles of most of my tactical shotguns but not all. Usually a shotgun of mine is loaded with something like Winchester PDX1 then fill the sidesaddle with BRI Sabot Slugs or Brenneke Slugs in case need to put a heavy punch. Not uncommon to have a single breaching round on the side just in case I need to break down a lock. As to brand, I have a variety and they all work just fine.

Have a pair of fifty shell bandoleers with specific mix of rounds which hang from the bedpost of each bed on main floor so if decide I want a scattergun soon as pick up helmet off the top knob of headboard can grab the bandoleer and throw it over my shoulder. Armor up with one of my A5s or Benelli fighting shotgun with fifty rounds of mixed choice rounds and have a wide range of applications that sometimes cant do as well with a rifle but more times will pick up an SBR.
